Upstream
InterOil's exploration asset portfolio is one of the largest held by a single company and comprises approximately 9 million acres, with four discovery's. We currently have four exploration licenses and two retention licenses in Papua New Guinea. Our principal licenses, Petroleum Prospecting Licenses 236, 237 and 238 are located in the Eastern Papuan Basin northwest of Port Moresby. We control 100% working interest in them, and our current exploration efforts are focused on, these three licenses. Our indirect participation interest investors have the right to a 31.55% working interest in the exploration wells currently being drilled and any resulting fields. These investors have a 31.55% interest in the next three exploration wells and a 24.8% interest in the two subsequent exploration wells. In addition, we own a 15% working interest in Petroleum Prospecting License 244, located offshore in the Gulf of Papua. We also own a 43.13% working interest in Petroleum Retention Licenses 4 and a 28.576% working interest in Petroleum Retention License 5.
